Libyan army chief of staff Youssef al-Mangoush has reportedly resigned after 30 people died in clashes between protesters and a militia in Benghazi.


The General National Congress accepted his resignation in a session Sunday, sources at the assembly say.


The clashes erupted when protesters gathered outside the Libya Shield Brigade premises demanding it disband.


The government has struggled to tackle the presence of armed militias since Col Gaddafi's death in 2011.


The BBC's Rana Jawad says Mr Mangoush, who was due to be replaced soon anyway, was seen as ineffective and to blame for much of the country's problems with the militias.
